So Sad To See It Go

  My most favorite foundation and overall favorite make-up line, Stephane Marais, is no longer for sale. This means I must begin another flawless foundation quest… In the meantime, you can snatch up what remains on ebay - while it lasts.

Super Deal: Best Lipgloss

I have tried every lipgloss known to man. Literally. All of them. From Chanel to Lancome to Clinique to Revlon to Wet ‘ Wild to Cover Girl and I could keep going but I will spare you.  My most recent test venture was a tube of Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet that I bought on sale at Sephora; overall it was a nice lip gloss but I ended up losing it like so very many tubes of lipgloss and at $10 a pop plus the line at the mall I wasn’t exactly ready to re-stock. Besides, no matter what I try I always end up going back to my staple… the reliable, the affordable, the available at CVS which is oh-so-convenient - Loreal Color Juice.

 

 At $7.59 a pop and minus the line at the mall, it’s by far my favorite lipgloss. Never to sticky, never to slimy, and available in every color under the sun. Why argue if it’s drugstore cheap and good? 

How to: Have Flawless Cheekbones

Do you ever feel like your blush or your bronzer won’t blend all the way, leaving a line or blotchy areas? It’s a problem I used to have all of the time, especially with dry winter skin, which sucks because I am a big fan of blush for a little freshness. 

 When I discovered Smashbox Soft Lights  I knew that I would never have to do the “am I even” mirror dance under the halogen light ever again.  The color I recommend for most skin types is called “Tint” and has a light peachy pinky hue. Sweep it over your cheekbones as a last step (can be used instead of powder to set) and watch the lines magically blend away. You’ll note that your cheekbones now look perfectly sunkissed and blended in every way without being sparkly. Yes!
